Original cub cadet steering fastener the same as other models?

[SuzukiT350man]

I have a buddy that recently got a first gen cadet that’s missing the rubber retainer that centers the steering wheel to the dash. Will one off a 1450 fit? International used many of the same parts on different equipment I’ve come to find out, and the 1450 & original cub’s retainer both look the same on a parts diagram.

first gen cadet

Are you referring the the Cub Cadet Original ??

[SuzukiT350man]

Yes, I reworded it so i wouldn’t say “original” too much and get people confused

[R Bedell]

The Cub Cadet Original, is just that. No confusion on the part of anyone here.

As for the Upper Column Bearing, the CCO & the 1450, use the same 941-3023 Bearing.

I think he needs the rubber piece that goes on the dash tower.

According to the TC-113 Parts Catalog, the "Original" dash grommet is p/n IH-376254-R1.
For all other tractors IH-384908-R1 is used.
Looking at Cub Cadets parts look-up, the IH-376254-R1 is only used on Originals and Lo-Boys.
The IH-384908-R1 does not show as being used on the Original.

yes they are different for sure,

if i remember correctly the original is much thinner, and the diameter is slightly different, its been a long time since ive had them laying side by side. but i do know they are different from experience of buying one for a narrow frame and trying to put it on my first O i restored
